Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ballater. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Ballater
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Ballater
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ballater use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Composite sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
